‘Catastrophic expenditure’: Why government must enroll cleft care on NHIS

While they deal with societal stigma and rejection, parents and guardians of children living with cleft are enduring constant economic constraints as they seek care. A yet-to-be-published study by the National Cleft Care Centre (NCCC) has revealed that parents spend at least twenty-five per cent (25) of their annual income on transportation, feeding and other miscellaneous activities in their quest to seek free comprehensive care. A situation the centre describes as ‘catastrophic expenditure ’, which could throw many of them into abject poverty and prevent them from accessing holistic care for their wards.

Childcare bill blows another hole in Labor’s budget

Sky News host Jaimee Rogers claims Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s $3.6 billion childcare wage deal is the latest costly commitment putting pressure on the nation’s finances. “The road to a budget blowout is often paved with good intentions. The NDIS is proof of that. Now there are warnings the childcare sector could be heading down exactly the same path,” Ms Roers said. “The Albanese Government committed $3.6 billion to a childcare wage increase. Subsidising 60,000 childcare workers for another 18 months. “This increase wasn't in the budget. And this isn’t the only hole in the budget from this week. “To put the childcare costs in perspective, the government is selling defence assets for about $1.8 billion, which looks like a weekend garage sale next to this 18-month childcare pay rise. “The sale of 67 defence sites will pay for half the cost of this childcare deal.”
